UN wrongly linked global warming to natural disasters

THE United Nations climate science panel faces new controversy for wrongly linking global warming to an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods.
It based the claims on an unpublished report that had not been subjected to routine scientific scrutiny — and ignored warnings from scientific advisers that the evidence supporting the link too weak. The report’s own authors later withdrew the claim because they felt the evidence was not strong enough.
The claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is already affecting the severity and frequency of global disasters, has since become embedded in political and public debate. It was central to discussions at last month’s Copenhagen climate summit, including a demand by developing countries for compensation of $100 billion (£62 billion) from the rich nations blamed for creating the most emissions.
Ed Miliband, the energy and climate change minister, has suggested British and overseas floods — such as those in Bangladesh in 2007 — could be linked to global warming. Barack Obama, the US president, said last autumn: “More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent.” …

UN climate change expert: there could be more errors in report

“…But Syed Hasnain, the Indian glaciologist erroneously quoted as making the 2035 prediction, said that responsibility had to lie with them. “It is the lead authors — blame goes to them,” he told The Times. “There are many mistakes in it. It is a very poorly made report.”
He and other leading glaciologists pointed out at least five glaring errors in the relevant section.
It says the total area of Himalyan glaciers “will likely shrink from the present 500,000 to 100,000 square kilometers by the year 2035”. There are only 33,000 square kilometers of glaciers in the Himalayas.
A table below says that between 1845 and 1965, the Pindari Glacier shrank by 2,840m – a rate of 135.2 m a year. The actual rate is only 23.5 m a year.
The section says Himalayan glaciers are “receding faster than in any other part of the world” when many glaciologists say they are melting at about the same rate.
An entire paragraph is also attributed to the World Wildlife Fund, when only one sentence came from it, and the IPCC is not supposed to use such advocacy groups as sources…” The Times, January 23, 2010

Der solare Einfluß auf unser Klima erneut bestätigt! CO2 Einfluß nicht nachweisbar!

Der Meteorologe Prof.em. Dr. Horst Malberg legte dieser Tage im Fachmagazin “Berliner Wetterkarte” seine neueste Forschungsarbeit vor. Sie zeigt die Enflüsse der beiden pazifischen Strömungen La Niña und El Niño auf die globale Klimaentwicklung seit 1950 bis 2008. anhand neuester Daten konnte Prof. Malberg nachweisen, daß der thermische Antrieb der ENSO Phasen seit 1950 (Abb.) mit dem Verhalten der Sonnenfleckenzahl (Abb.8), eng korreltiert. Der grundsätzlich synchrone Verlauf ist offensichtlich.
…Für die geäußerte Vermutung, der anthropogene Treibhauseffekt würde, wenn schon nicht vor 1950, so doch nach 1950 den Klimawandel wesentlich beeinflussen, gibt es keinen realen klimatologischen Beweis. Alles spricht dafür, dass es sich auch in den letzten 6 Jahrzehnten bei dem vom IPCC postulierten dominanten Treibhaus-/CO2-Einfluss auf die globale Temperaturentwicklung (Erwärmung) nur um eine Scheinkausalität handelt.
